I am using Linux Mint ver. 16, and the Chrome browser works OK with keybd cursor keys in Gmail, Facebook, etc. but when I switch to your FireFox browser, I find the cursor keys are erratic and the up/down keys jump from the top to the bottom of Facebook time line, with no stopping or scrolling. I have tested this on a desktop PC and a laptop PC, and I get the same result, so I know it is not the hardware. So I will just stop using your Firefox browser until I can get a fix.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can toggle caret browsing on/off by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

Note that this is an accessibility feature of Firefox.
